Thermodynamical properties of QED in 1+1 dimensions within light front dynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate thermodynamical properties of quantum electrodynamics in 1 + 1 dimensions (QED1+1). Discrete light cone quantization is used to compute the partition function of the canonical ensemble and the thermodynamical potential. The potential is evaluated for different system sizes and coupling strengths. We perform the continuum limit and the thermodynamical limit and present basic thermodynamical quantities as a function of temperature for the interacting system. A more accurate estimation of low lying bound state masses at non-perturbative coupling strength are determined due to the higher harmonic resolution. The results are compared to the idealized cases.

QED second order corrections on the speed of light at low temperature
We want to study thermal corrections on the speed of light at low temperature considering temperature dependence of photon vacuum polarization tensor at two-loop level in the standard QED. It is found that the heat bath behaves as a dispersive medium for the propagation of light and reduces its speed proportional to the second order of temperature. Similarities and differences, in light ...

In several preceding studies, the explicitly covariant formulation of light front dynamics was developed and applied to many observables. In the present study we show how in this approach the renormalization procedure for the first radiative correction can be carried out in a standard way, after separating out the contributions depending on the orientation of the light-front plane. We calculate...
متن کاملOn relativistic models in the equilibrium statistical mechanics
Relativistic effects in the thermodynamical properties of interacting particle systems are investigated within the framework of the relativistic direct interaction theory in various forms of dynamics. In the front form of relativistic dynamics an exactly solvable model of a one-dimensional hard spheres gas is formulated and an equation of state and thermodynamical potentials for such a gas are ...
متن کاملSinglet-Triplet Splitting of Positronium in Light-Front QED
We study the QED bound-state problem in a light-front hamiltonian approach. It is important to establish the equivalence (or not) of equal-time and light-front approaches in the well-understood arena of Quantum Electrodynamics. Along these lines, the singlettriplet ground state spin splitting in positronium is calculated. The well-known result, 7 6 αRyd, is obtained analytically, which establis...
